Open eyes.
Who am I?
What will I do?
So much to figure out!
The joy of being a child!
Puberty strikes, hormones rush violently, emotions seethe.
My blood settles, I ease myself into adulthood.
I survey the world, bend it to my will.
I am glorious, living at the height of my powers.
Then, unawares, I fall from the grace of youth.
Life becomes a comfortable routine, possibilities close down.
The repetition lets time pass easily, unnoticed.
Then the end seems uncomfortably close!
What was it all about?
I still don’t know!
So many regrets!
If only!
Death.
